/**
* NoiceSynth - A Compact RP2040 Synthesizer
*
* This sketch provides the foundational code for a portable MIDI synthesizer
* based on the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040).
*
* Features implemented:
* - I2S audio output for a simple sawtooth oscillator.
* - MIDI input handling (Note On/Off) via TRS jack to control the oscillator.
* - OLED display for visual feedback (current note, volume).
* - Analog volume control via a potentiometer.
* - Basic rotary encoder reading (framework for future parameter control).
*
* Libraries Required (Install via Arduino Library Manager):
* - Adafruit GFX Library
* - Adafruit SSD1306
* - MIDI Library (by Forty Seven Effects)
*
* The I2S library by Earle F. Philhower, III is included with the RP2040 board core.
